How Much Does It Cost To Build a Website In India?

 

This the first question that comes to mind whenever anyone thinks of moving their business online. And an important one. Answer? Depends. Several Digital Marketing Company India will give you a different answer. 

 

Every Digital Marketing Company in India will have different rates based on skills and experience. For example, some doctors in the medical profession take 50 per appointment while some doctors take 2,000 per appointment.

I have created more than 150 websites and talked with over 500+ people about their website requirements. Each and every client has unique requirements and budget. 

But we understand that it is important for business owners to estimate a cost beforehand only and adjust their budget accordingly. 

To estimate a website development cost beforehand is a bit tricky. But, with some careful calculations, we can at least reach a ballpark figure.

Thus, before reaching out to any Digital Marketing Agencies, read this article and calculate how much it should cost you. 

Let’s come at the cost. There are three major costs: –

  1. domain name
  2. Hosting (SSL, Business Email)
  3. design development

Let’s talk about them in a little detail: –

1.Domain: – ( name of your website): – This is a fixed cost, which costs around 600-1200 rupees/year. You can buy them from domain registrars like GoDaddy or Namecheap.

  1. Hosting: – To keep your website file, you need a server called a computer that is always connected to the Internet. For this, you need a hosting provider (Ex: – Namecheap, Bluehost, Siteground, Dreamhost, etc.).there are a few things that you should understand before it comes to cost.

Like RAM and storage in your mobile is limited. The same is the case with the webserver. RAM number of your mobile The number of apps you can run simultaneously (depending on the size of the server) of the server determines how many visitors it can handle at a time.

Hosting costs, you can also get it for free (with many restrictions on RAM, storage, etc.). I would only recommend who is learning web development and has a tight budget.

You should opt for good paid hosting. Which starts at around 3k to 5k per year (enough for most of the small and medium-size). There are also dedicated hosting which many large organizations choose for which can cost more than 10K INR per month.

SSL: – (Green padlock symbol with the word safe in the URL bar in most browsers). You can get it for free, but many providers have paid host providers, this is just a click or contact for support. A free certificate if sufficient in most cases of small and medium businesses.

Business Email: – This is also something you can get for free. Many hosting providers offer 5 or more free emails with most of their hosting plans. 5 emails are sufficient for most small and medium-sized businesses. In case you require unlimited email, little research is required and many hosting providers offer it free of cost along with their hosting plans.

Cost of migration: – For medium-sized informational websites (like school, college, etc.) from just a few hours to a day. It depends on the developer how much he charges. If your site is on CMS like WordPress, Joomla, etc.

Let’s come to the most important part that is known for a specific customer and the most variable cost.

  1. The cost of designing (in the Indian market) varies from 5K (eg 50K for a small static informational website + 50% for an e-commerce website).

Remember that your design cost will depend to a large extent on the competency/qualification of the developer and the time he invests in your project and time depends largely on the process, not the result.

Note that the design level you will get will depend on the skill of the designer and what you ask for.

 

Your website is your online identity and can make or break your business. Therefore, it is crucial for you to understand this process before selecting a Digital Marketing Services
